Hello there good people.
I really hope you can help solve this very annoying issue I am having with my Note.
When someone sends me a MMS I will automaticlly get another text from "Hidden sender address"
Is there any fix to this??
Thank you for your help
Anyone out there?

Hey guys!
I just discovered an annoying feature on my SGS which I think is a general feature of Android phones...
I usually text long messages (I'm on an unlimited SMS plan) and I get frustrated at the fact that whenever I pass the 3 SMS point, it auto-converts my SMS to MMS. This would be useful for those whose carriers naturally charge less for 1 MMS as compared to long SMS but mine isn't one of them (15 php/mms versus 1 php/sms or free)... and besides I'm on unlimited SMS so this "feature" wastes that plan of mine.
Anyway, I was wondering if there's any way at all to suppress this behavior. A quick Google led me to solutions of just cutting back on texts/sending them in multiple parts or using Handcent SMS app.
The first is too inconvenient for me and the recipients of my texts and cutting back on texting is difficult for me and shouldn't be a solution.
As for the second, I've tried Handcent and it does have a setting to not auto-convert long SMS to MMS but I dislike the layout/theme. I prefer having the look of the original messaging app of the Galaxy S. Nice and clean and blends with the look of the whole system. No matter what tweak I do to the themes and such, it just doesn't look good for me.
So my question is...if Handcent SMS has a setting of suppressing that behavior of Android, is there some way to do that without Handcent SMS? Maybe just a simple app or a tweak somewhere in the software perhaps?
Thanks so much in advance! This is really too annoying a feature and I just want to be rid of it.
I know this is sort of old but I am wondering the same thing. Anybody have any answers?
Foryo is said to keep it as sms http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=74cc9dfbd1669f47&hl=en
EDITED: didn't completely read first post.
I'm not sure if chompSMS has the option too, but it's much closer to the layout/simplicity of the original app.
Yeah from my research on the issue Froyo will in fact fix this issue...here's to hoping it will come out some time soon for SGS!!! I'm tired of copy pasting my long texts into Handcent SMS :/ it caused a disastrous mis-send recently )
I have yet to try ChompSMS..I'll give it a go later and report the results. If it does look better and has that feature then I guess it can help me deal better with this issue until Froyo comes out. :O
Anyone who has tried the Froyo beta for SGS willing to report if this issue really is resolved?
Thanks!!!
Still here
This issue is not resolved and is extremely irritating. Surely with all the Dev powar here this could be easily taken care of? I'd do it myself if I knew how...
Can someone please let us know how to stop SMS converting to MMS.
Handcent SMS works perfect for me when I need to type a long sms. But I hate that app and would love to stick to the standard one.
I am also irritated by this problem and could not find a way to deal with it other than dividing it manually; I am running on Froyo and it's there, very frustrating.

I also started using Handcent to deal with this issue and I'm very happy with it.
I find it very much like the stock application.
Its not really an andriod problem but a messaging application problem from samsung
Same here in Slovenia...my recipients also get the “broken message“ text sometimes,folowed by another sms with the txt ive written.
I also hate that if the reception is poor and u cant send an sms or mms, the phone wont retry sending when the reception is back... What gives,dammit?

Did anybody found solution for that?
MindFever, I'm also from Slovenia. Did you have problems with sending mms? It wont sent to Croatia numbers, and sometimes it won't sent to anybody or recieve it from others
Hi I have this very frustrating conversion problem also, handcent is a waste of time. so is orange (my network) they are aware of the problem but say that there is a fix on the way from android but noone knows when!!!!!!! anyone help in the meantime?
Hello!
I too have this very problem on my phone (running Darky's RC4). I don't want to use any 3rd-party application to solve this issue like handcent or chop. Is there a mod or a fix that I could use to fix this problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Same for Galaxy Tab
Hi guys,
I have a galaxy tab and the same problem, checked under froyo and gingerbread. I thinks that in fact it is a Samsung problem and not android. It's just the messaging app that sucks. Waiting for samsung to fix it, I tried handcent and it's ok.
check the modified version here

Hello all,
I am having an issue with mass texting for legitimate reasons (not SMS bombing). When 2.1 came out, it limited recipients of a message to 40, but I regularly send messages out to ~100 contacts. Naturally, I just made do, but I'm looking for an answer now. Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? Yes, I have already searched to no avail. Also, with 2.1, when I would send a mass text to a group, it would be sent via email to the address linked to their facebook account. I solved this by wiping my phone and disabling facebook sync from the get-go, but would also like to see if anyone else had experienced this problem. When I would view my contacts in gmail, the primary means of contact was still to their cell, but the messaging app would send the message through email.
Thanks for all of the help ahead of time,

Big bump. Still not resolved. Any ideas?
Hi. Hopefully this is an easy fix
Since my update to 2.3.3 my contacts ids are not linking to sms chats. I.e. if I send a text to a friend, when they reply it only show up as their phone number when it used to be their name and Facebook picture.
This happens with every single contact.
What fixes are there? Is this a common issue? I know my wife is having the same issue with hers as well.
I really don't want to have to use an app to sync my contacts to chats. It should do it natively
Thanks

I've noticed this as well, the only workaround I've found was to reboot when it starts happening.
I haven't seen it in couple days.
It happens with my contacts randomly too, if I reboot, it happens to someone else sometimes. No fix?

Hi All,
just wondering if any one else is having issues with the stock email app?
i have it set up with my work email via activesync and for some reason it goes from html to plain text, this seems to be happening atleast once a day which is a little strange.
is anyone else having similar issues?
might not help but I used to have that problem on another phone years ago... Turned out it was a setting on our exchange server that was fixed when company upgraded versions.

I'm having the same issue. I select HTML and it seems to stick at first. But when I receive emails they're always in plain text. When I go back into the settings I find that it has reverted back to plain text. It's getting pretty annoying.

yeah it is annoying the help out of me, I know it is not a setting on the exchange server so I am not sure why it is doing it.
Hopefully someone has a fix or HTC fix it soon
I'm having the same issue. No clue how to resolve it. Drives me nuts. Stock Android's Email client has evolved to the point where I'm considering ditching Sense 5 until this is resolved as HTML-formatted work emails are a big part of my smartphone usage.
I've found also that when you do switch it to HTML, it doesn't suddenly render already-downloaded apps in HTML format. They stay plain text. Irritating to say the least.

Are we sure its a server side setting? If we knew the exact setting this might help.
Maybe we can hack the mail APK to ignore the setting. I am annoyed enough to try it myself.
I don't know the specifics but for us it was corrected as part of an upgrade to a newer version of exchange. Once they upgraded it the html setting stuck without any other changes on the phone.

Hey XDA family, I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I'm having a weird issue using the Samsung Messages app to text a couple friends and family members. If I text them using the app they receive a blank text. If I text them using Android messages app then they receive it fine though. It doesn't happen to everyone either. I can text other friends just fine. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas how to troubleshoot ? I have the T-Mobile Note 9 on Pie
Thanks!
check under messages/settings/more settings/text messages/input mode. Mine is set to automatic.
Thanks for that suggestion. Never even noticed that before. Mine was set to Unicode, changed it to automatic and still blank text is received. Tried GSM as well and same result. Any other ideas? These are just regular text SMS messages.
